NL: Nuenen accidentally leaks addresses of 1,000 asylum center opponents
According to NL Times, the municipality of Nuenen in Noord-Brabant inadvertently shared the addresses of more than 1,000 residents who had filed objections to the establishment of a temporary asylum seekers centre. The report states that, as part of preparations for a hearing by the objections committee, the addresses were sent to multiple recipients. The municipality said the shared documents contained no names or other personal information, only addresses.
The article notes that “addresses can, however, be indirectly linked to individuals, so this is considered a data breach,” as stated by Nuenen. The disclosure was reported on 7 December 2025.
